And
We Thought They Were On Our Side

During the early morning on August 16,
1943, residents of tiny Tarnov, Nebraska, were startled from
their sleep by the sound of "bombs" falling on their
town. The missiles turned out to
be practice bombs dropped from a U.S. Army Air Forces bomber
on a night training mission. The crew had mistaken the lights
of Tarnov for a lighted bombing range located a few miles south
of Stanton.
